@Chance: Your indigo is lovely, and your classroom is awesome! I wish you the best of luck in your future indigo breeding project!

I'm currently working on getting my teaching certification, and dream of one day teaching in a classroom with an Indigo as an educational animal. Just another year of classes, and a year of in-class internship (Michigan State requires a full year), and I'll be ready to find myself a job. I just hope I find a school that would approve of a classroom pet, it would be so wonderful to have a beloved companion accompany me to work. *dreamy sigh*

I can't help but think of the sheer number of possibilities when it comes to integrating indigos into lectures. It would be so fun to bring up their cohabitation with gopher tortoises when describing mutualism, or integrating their predator/prey balance in a talk on the food web...

@bobassetto: I don't suppose you'd be willing to donate an indigo to a poor college student, so that I may have a few years to tame it before becoming a teacher. Just wishful thinking on my part...
